Jake Paul has said that Paddy Pimblett deserves 'his millions' after beating Jordan Leavitt by a stunning submission at UFC London on Saturday night at the O2 Arena.
Pimblett secured his third win in three fights so far in the UFC, beating Leavitt in the second round by a brilliant submission using a rear naked choke - the same method of victory which he used to beat Rodrigo Vargas at the same UFC London event back in March.
However, the Huyton fighter said that he was disappointed with his performance, telling Michael Bisping on BT Sport: "Yeah, once again I'm disappointed in my performance lad, that's not me," said Pimblett while speaking to former UFC champion Michael Bisping. "In the back, I was firing on all cylinders, that was sh**. Pardon my French - I'm better than that."
Now, Jake Paul has involved himself in the hype surrounding the 27-year-old as he says that the Liverpool born fighter should earn 'millions' in the wake of the stunning victory. There has been some talk of a fight taking place between Paul's brother Logan and 'The Baddy' and now Jake has had his say after a brilliant win.

Jake tweeted after the fight, saying: "Pay Paddy his Millions now". This cements the reputation which is being forged by the former Cage Warriors star as he continues to set the UFC alight.
Pimblett fights at lightweight, with the 6"5" Logan Paul having fought at heavyweight, but Pimblett said in an interview with Seconds Out: "I’ve told you all, he knows who the boy is, he knows who the face of the UFC is now and it’s me. I’d f****** snap his leg for him or knock him clean out. I don’t care what weight he wants to fight at. I’d fight him at 185. I’d probably get him down to 175 or something and I’d fight him at that but I’d fight him at 185lb."
Following his win against Leavitt, opportunities will not be in short supply for Pimblett and he will be sure to consider all offers as he seeks to earn a ranking in the UFC and a potential world title shot in the future.
